on Saturday.
CHICAGO, May 14-The Builders and
Traders Exchange was crowded with its
members this morning in response to the
call of the President for a special meeting.
1t was declared that the worlEingmen them
selves were responsible for the whole trouble,
and not the members of the exchange, as
most people supposed. The master masons
granted all the demands of the men until
they were served with notice which read :
1--WE have met and fixed Saturday as pay
day" That was the last straw Resolu-
tions were passed indcnsing the action
of the Master Masons' Association and
promising them active aid and assistance
during the present strike. The different
associations of building contractors, the
State Board of Architects and the Chicago
Real Estate Board were requested to send
committees of three to general conference
to be held Wednesday morning next at 10
o'clock. The following dispatch was re-
ceived from William a. haywood, Secre-
tary of the Master Builders Association, of
Boston: 1--WE are watching your course
with the. greatest interest and sympathy
Individual liberty must be sustained at any
cost" Three cheers and a tiger were given
when the meeting adjourned.
ARCHITECTS TO COOPERATE.
The Illinois State Association of Archi-
tects passed the following resolution this

Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to
send to the Builders and Traders Exchange
through its President an expression of our

STARKE SENSATIONS.
The Recent Destructive Fire-A Child
Born Headless.


Born Headless.
STARKE, FLA, May 14.-A fire broke out
Thursday in the second story Of NJ. j. Jones
e. Co.'S store which was entirely consumed
with all the stock. I. w. Sweat's dwelling
house caught from the burning store and
was soon wrapped in flames. The furniture
and household effects were removed to the
streets although much damaged. Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Sweat and family left on an early
excursion train this morning for Pablo
Beach and have not returned and are doubt
less ignorant of their great loss, which will
foot up in the neighborhood of $4,000, with
some insurance. Mr.. Jones has been pecu-
liarly unfortunate recently. 1t has been
only about three weeks since burglars
opened his safe and stole about 81 200
in cash. Mr.. Sweat, who is also merchant
of this place, will return tonight homeless
with his interesting family. The neighbors
have already made arrangements TO accom-
modate them.
A lady, near Starke, gave birth TO a male
child only few days ago which was head
less or biainless It's face was normal, but
1t had no Uranium. II had the appearance
of having had its head cut off above the cars
and eyebrows. IL also had two well deyel-
oped teeth. 1t was living when born but
did not breathe, and died almost Immediately
with spaanodic shudder Yet the strsmg-
est part of the story is to tell About eight
months ago a near neighbor of the lady in
question was thrown from his horse His
foot catching in the stirrup, he was dragged
for some distance In some unaccountabe
manner he was almost completely scalped.
The scalp was torn from the back OF the
head and hung down over his face, making
a horrible looking wound. The powerful
impression made ON the mother of the infant
by this CHASTITY spectacle is generally con-
coded to have resulted in the above men
toned monstrosity.
Strawberry shipments are over from this
point, although the plants are bearing pro-
fusely They can be had now for the pick
ing in immense quantities The growers are
well pleased with the results of the sales, all
of them making more or less money--some
growers as much as $500 net per acre.

JUSTICE WOODS DEAD.

Garland and Villas Among Those Who
Would Like to Fill the Vacancy.
WASHINGTON, May l4.-Justice Woods,
of the United States Supreme Court died
shortly after II o'clock to-day
The death of Mr.. Justice Woods will be
announced in the United States Supreme
Court on Monday, and the court win adj
journ at once out of respect to his memory.
All the members of the court will go to New
ark, O., to attend the funeral. Gen. Sher-
man and Senator Sherman will also 90.
Gen. Sherman, while calling on Chief JUS
tice Waite to-day, recalled with pleasure the
gallant services of Justice Woods under his
command from Vicksburg to Savannah.
The body was scarcely cold before the efforts
of those who would like to succeed him
began The President has, of
course, given the matter no formal
consideration as yet. The successor will be
a Southern man. This is the only certain
thing about it, except that no one over GO
years old will be appointed, because the Jul
dietary Committee of the Senate has estab-
liShed the rule that no one over that age
shall be confirmed. Attorney General Gar
land would like the place, so would Secre-
tary Endicott, but neither is likely to get it.
Mr.. Justice Woods had only lately re-
turned from California, where he had gone
in search of health. For short time after
he reached California he seemed to improve,
but after a time he became convinced that
his disease was beyond the skill of physi-
clans and climate, and he returned to Wash
ington to die. He was born in Newark, O.,
and graduated at Yale College in 1915. He
studied law, and began the practice of his
profession in lS47. In 1857 he was elected
as Democrat to the Ohio Legislature, and
was chosen Speaker. He was reelected and
made quite reputation in State politics.
In 1861 he enlisted in the army and was
made Lieutenant Colonel of the Seventy
sixth Ohio Infantry. He served through
the war, and was mustered out with the rank
of Brigadier General and Brevet Major Gen
eraL AT the time he was mustered out he
was in Alabama and concluded to remain
in that State. He was chosen State Chan
cellor for the term of six years, but after he
had served two years he was appointed by
President Grant Circuit Judge for the Fifth
Judicial district He had his home at Mo
bile for several years He removed to At
lanta and was appointed to the Supreme
bench from Georgia in $780,
Mr.. Justice Woods was regarded as good
Judge, but not great one He was well
liked in Atlanta while his home was there,
and both while Circuit Judge and JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, he bore the repu-
tation of holding the scales of justice evenly.
Before the disease which caused his death
attacked him he was strong and healthy
man in appearance. Three years ago no
one who had seen all of the Supreme Court
Judges would have thought that he would
be the first among them to respond to deaths

The Bloxham and Perry forces are about
in their usual relative positions. Both sides
are working hard to gain a two-thirds ma
jority. If the two-thirds rule is adhered to
throughout the chances are that neither
Gov. Perry nor ex-Gov Bloxham can be
nominated, leaving the Legislature the al
tentative of nominating a third man or ad-
journing without electing.
ROUGHLY HANDLED.
The railroad commission bill is having
some rough handling in the Legislature
The anti-railroad element are SO fearful lest
some advantage be taken of the public by
some technical error in the lazy that they are
extremely'careful, and object to everything
proposed by those the least bit inclined to
favor railroad interests. The friends of the
railroads, on the other hand, insist on the
incorporation in the commission bill certain
amendments or protecting provision equi-
table in themselves and entirely just and
right.
THE POLL TAX BILL.
The Legislature has studiously avoided
taking up the poll tax prerequisite bill, but
its friends have at last secured a special
order for it and it will probably be given a
consideration in few days. As soon as the
question Of forming new counties is finally
disposed of the task of reapportioning the
representation from the several counties
will be begun and rapidly prosecuted by the
Apportionment Committee, Of which Mr.
Willie, of jefferson, is the chairman.
NEW ELECTION LAWS.
Nothing has been done in regard TO the
framing of the new election laws under the
new constitution, and as there are great
many Of the most important measures TO be
acted upon still, and very few have been in
troduced as yet, there is considerable talk
of a special session of the Legislature. This,
however, is wild talk as the working mem
bers of each branch will demand and secure
double duty from members and officers from
this day forth, and everything possible will
be done to expedite matters of general in
terest to the exclusion of special measures.
The House indefinitely postpones number
Of bills every day and is reducing the size
Of its calendar somewhat but the press is
still very great and continually added to.

Mr.. Morrisons Views on the Interstate

CHICAGO, May 14--Commissioner w. r.
Morrison, of the Interstate Commission,
who left this city for Washington to-day,
in an interview, referring to the investiga-
tions of the commission during it's extended
Southern trip said that the testimony OF
the railroad officials was unanimous to the
effect that the enforcement Of the long and
short haul section would be ruinous to the
interests of the South. Whether the sis-
pension will be made permanent or not will
not be decided until the full board meets at
Washington next week. Mr.. Morrison does
not think there is any growing sentiment
favoriug repeal Of the law, and he believes
that governmental supervisor of railroad
transportation has come to stay.
